I’m such a sucker for cute packaging and pretty colors, so it should come as no surprise that I’m totally digging the new Heidi Klum makeup line at Victoria’s Secret. My favorite products so far are the lipstick and the eyeliner, but really the whole line is great. From the website:

Introducing the limited-edition Heidi Collection 2009, Exotic Jewels. Inspired by Heidi’s life-changing trip to the spiritual city of Varanasi, India, it’s her most personal creation yet. The collection interprets her exotic discoveries into a sparkling and rich palette of irresistible shades in packaging as beautiful and precious as Heidi’s favorite jewels.

The eyeliner is a dark, almost black, purple  silver sparkles.  The color shows as an almost black on skin, but not quite. The silver sparkles are subtle, and aren’t too much for daytime wear. If you’re looking for super-sparkle, you won’t find it here, but if you want something more subtle, it’s perfect.

I like the lipstick, because it has a creamy texture and a great neutral brownish pink  sort of color. It’s a darker shade but not crazy dark. It’s a fun color when you want something with a little drama, but not too over the top. I like the texture.

Isn’t the packaging on the Luminous Face Powder Gems so pretty? The product is basically a darker, more colorful version of Guerlain’s Meteorites, and comes in a cardboard container like the Meteorites. I think the jeweltones and gold trim on the box really beat out the Meteorites packaging, though. It’s a nice blush, perfect for adding a bit of color that isn’t too bright. Buy it for the box, keep it for the product!

The mascara is a nice purple color, but isn’t anything particularly special, in my opinion. It gets the job done, but didn’t knock my socks off particularly. Likewise with the lip gloss. It’s nice, but not something I can’t live without.

I haven’t tried the eyeshadow palette, but the colors are very pretty. It also has really pretty packaging, continuing with the gold and jewel theme from the other products.

Overall, I’ve had a lot of fun playing with these products, and I think the packaging is so pretty! The quality is nice and the colors are fun. Try the eyeliner!
